Character
Odette Ishikihara is a prolific stringer for the Nyueden Broadcasting Group. She's Japanese-French. An orphan, too. Not that it's something to be ashamed of. She's certainly very defensive about it, though. Odette has pink and black split color messy long hair with yellow eyes. A cute face helps a lot with predisposing people to like her. She likes being cute! In fact, she does her best to strike a balance of cute AND dangerous. Unfortunately, the "dangerous" part doesn't seem to deter anyone. People find her adorable, but it's patronizing and infantilizing, the way the public and the mob treat Odette. Like she's in need of supervision, like she's incapable of taking care of herself. Being picked up or moved to places is rare, but it does happen for Odette. During her time off the clock, it's easier for Odette to let them move her or assist her around, and she doesn't mind it too much. During important jobs? Out comes the taser, weapons free. You'd think they'd get the message after the first few zaps. The amount of people Odette has tazed borders on comical, the amount of people flipped or thrown approaching absurdity. Her outfit, a grey techwear jacket and shirt with black short shorts and spats, is usually disheveled and only neat on the rarest of occasions. She wears white knee socks and sneakers. Reckless, neurotic, yet ever cheerful, Odette does her best to make ends meet! She's kinda twitchy at times, but pretty optimistic. Despite her attempts to buck the trend, she…
Introduction
Today (and tomorrow) is a rest day. Sure, New Eden goes on as usual out there, crimes and all, but Odette can ignore that for now. A few times in each month, she designates two days for herself to take a break. Chasing stories endlessly is just asking for burn out. Being a stringer for the Nyueden Broadcasting Group, you'd think she was working on a quota to meet monthly, weekly even. The executives are remarkably relaxed about the work, though. Fail to provide any work? It's fine. It'll just mean you don't get paid. Honestly, it's a wonder how anyone can go and call them psychopaths, they're practically saints. ...If you ignore the litany of crimes each executive is bound to have by the time they reach that position in the NBG, that is. As far as Odette knows, the crimes aren't even a requirement for the positions in question. They just have those crimes. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Saints in terms of employee satisfaction. They're definitely not seeing the pearly gates. If the gates even exist. "But enough about that." Her van's fully extended, the back and side doors open, an overhanging roof set up for shade. "Time to review!" The cooking station's been moved out to rest on the concrete of the side alley she's parked in, leaving the cots and camera equipment in the back. She's unfolded the chairs and the table, creating a dining area for herself. She's gone and set up that portable shower for herself as well. Where...? Well, there's a backdoor into an office buildi…
